A Japanese Execution. Frightened by the Earthquake. » G UST STOVES, V 0 I G T , liEAIXB IN cTwTfreem The decapitation of four men at Tobe (Yokohama), for the crime of stealing lorty rios, is thus described by an eyewitness of the scene : The execution ground was fenced in the form of a corral, and stood amidst fields of waving barley. In one corner of this enclosure was a mat-shed, and just outside of it an ominous group of trees—ominous at least to condemned prisoners, for the fast-decaying skulls which lie around too plainly tell tlic tale of that sequestered spot. The birds and dogs.have been at work in.the offensive burying place, and have unearthed those remnants of the dead. The dread hour appointed for the sentenced culprits to expiate their crimes, is 7 a. m. But at six a numerous and somewhat motley group of foreigners and natives assembled. While moving about the spot, we observed preparations which have been made for the execution. A horizontal bar, upon which are four ominous spikes projecting upward—and whereon the heads of the doomed criminals will be bleaching in the sjnn, for two or three days—stands about two yards from the fence. Opposite to this are two holes in the ground, the dimensions of which are about three feet by l'i feet, and some 18 inches deep. .Beside these the poor wretches will have to kneel when beheaded1, that their heads may fall into them. Near one of these holes is a white handkerchief on a staff. In the hut sit the executioners complacently awaiting the arrival of the procession from the prison. Anxious to have a chat with;the chief headsman, a man apparently fifty or sixty years of age, we enter the mat-slied and wish them good morning, which is politely returned, light cigars and enter into a conversation regarding the prisoners. We then casually examine the executioner's sword, a long two-handled one, and doubtless of the best steeL Moving outside again, wc observe the increasing concourse anxious to witness the dying throes of the unfortunate men. The effect of the successive shocks upon the miners, says a California letter, was singular. Some of them threw themselves prostrate in terror, while others, half clad and in the greatest fright, took to the woods. Our artist has caught tlio expression and appearance of two of these affrighted men most earnestly, yet at the same time somewhat ludicrously. J.

A lump of coal, it is often said, is made up of sunbeams. We could believe this more readily of the diamonds, which is just a crystal of carbon, for it is so bright and sparkling, and makes brilliant sunshine in a shady place. But even the (lull, black coal has been formed of the sunshine of long forgotten summers. Every sunbeam that fell upon the club-mosses- and ferns of the old coalforests enabled them to withdraw the minute* unseen carbon from the air, and form out of it their own soh.l tissue. They thus caged and imprisoned the floating light itself, and wrought its bright threads in tlieir loom into the beautiful patterns of stem and leaf which they showed.

" Yes," he articulated gloomily, and going to the cradle took up the six weeks' old baby, and sorrowfully pressed it to his lieart. But listen ! that mournful chant, softly wafted o\;er the fields of grain which glow in the morning sunshine, betokens the approach of the sad procession. Nearer and nearer it approaches us, and as its sorrowful lay is echoed by the hills and sappices around, a thrill of pain, of sympathy for those on whom another morn will never brighten, is felt by almost every heart that's there. Now it is within a few yards. Three men are carrying as many boards, held aloft on poles, upon which is written a declaration of the crime committed by the culprits ; then came three or four more, having poles with a cross covered with spikes at the top—emblematical of the prison and justice ; then follow a string of officers and attendants, in the midst of whom are the prisoners—four very young men. Three of, them with firmness and strength, but the fourth, sick and overhelmed with distrees, is being carried in a knitgo, or basket chair. As they pass through the gate, we are somewhat surprised to hear one of them, as he walks close by us, say, ohaqo gazanimas! (good morning) and then express his opinion that the terrible death to which he is doomed would resemble going to sleep. The three men (the fourth being iu a state of semi-insensibility) take a long, long gaze at surrounding objects, and the attendants proceed to blindfold theui, their arms having been securely bound behind them before leaving the jail. The three men, each in turn, then gave utterance to a sort of exhortation and prayer. The miserable wretch in the kango is now lifted oilt and placed inside the hole on his knees, while two men stand behind him holding his body—but there is nothing to place his head upon. Another takes him by the chin to put his head iu position, which he succeeds in doing in a minute and a half, a delay terribly agonizing to the victim.

PENCILS, r \p® CHEAPEST IN TOWN —COME AND SEE FOR Hernia, or Rupture! Iflarth A Co.'i Radical Cure Trass. 1T1 MARSH CO. S Graduating Truss PROPRIETORS OF To form one of the little rings of wood in the trunk of one of the old pines took the sunshine of a long summer falling upon all its thousand leaves ; and who can tell liow much sunshine has been wprked np in all the stores of coal that lie concealed under onr feet ? This prisoned sunshine we set free whenever we kindle a fire of eoals. When the sun ceases to shine upon ns in these cold, misty days, we draw upon the sunshine ; of a million years ago to drive'away the frost and make us comfortable.' The source of all labor is the sun and we get the benefit of his labor when we burn the coal or the wood in which he has condensed and preserved it. No ray of suusliine has ever been wasted or thrown awav. It is because nature has been so thrifty in her household ways that we are enabled to be so prodigal of our resources to-day, spending more than one hundred millions of tons of coal every year, and with that vast consumption of sun labor producing all the varied and extraordinary work that we do under sun. Why is a lump of coal black, if it is composed of sunbeam*, which every one knows contains all the colors of the rainbow ? Why is it black, if it is made up of the green stems and branches and leaves of plants ? It is because its particles are so formed and are ranged as to take in all the light that falls upon it, without giving back any portion. A white object reflects all the light, and a black object absorbs all the light. What becomes, then, of the colors which the black coal has withdrawn from the sunshine ? Are they lost ? No ! nothing in this world is lost. Everything is accounted for. When anything has served its purpose in one form, it seems to vanish altogether ; but it reappears in another form, and in it works anew. There is everywhere change, but not loss. A growing plant absorbs some of the colors of the sunbeams that nourish it, and reflects others in its prevailing hue —yellow, or blue, or red, or purple. But the colors that it absorbs are not lost; they generally reappear . in some Other or after part of the plant. So the colors of the sunshine that are absorbed in the black coal come out in the colored flames of the blazing fire. The red and yellow flame over which you warm your hands is just the flower into which' the sunshine, concealed and stored up in the coal for ages, has blossomed. But more than this ; the lost colors of the rainbow in coal are brought out still more .strikiugly by our modern manufactures. Every one lias heard of, and very rnanv persons have seen, what are called the coal-tar colors. Richest and brightest hues of blue and green, and mauve and magenta, and rose and yellow, are obtained from tar, and tar is obtained from coal. Bonnets and round hats are so much alike in shape ami trimming this season that it is very difficult to tell which is which. \ SCHOOL BOOKS, BLANK BOOKS, MEMORANDUMS, Ac.

The blood-stained head is immediately lifted from its receptacle by the hair, and presented to the public gaze with an air of satisfaction. Water is then poured over it, the lifeless trunk being covered with straw-mats and removed a short distance away. At a given sign another is led forth, and kneels at the other hole ; the same scene of blood was again enacted. The third is now brought forward, his slaughter differing from the others only in the fact that another headsman does the work. And now the fourth—the man particularly remarkalile for his seeming indifference to the horrible fate which awaited him—steps up to play his part in the dreadful tragedy. Another aim —another gleam of that terrible weapon of death, and the Inst victim sinks to the earth, "asleep"—asleop in death. Tins scene of blood is now ended, and four human heads-are upon those ugly spikes, bleaching in the sun, as a terrible warning to'law-breakers.

The wife of a cattle broker named Weise was murdered at Pittsburg, Pa. When discovered, the woman lay on a bed and piesented a horrible spectacle. There was a deep, ragged gash on the throat, extending almost from ear to ear, nearly two inches wide, which had penetrated the windpipe. In addition, there was a terrible sawing cut on the back of the neck, extending into the spinal column, and, with that on the throat, almost severing the head fiom its trunk. While her husband was in the room, the dying woman, unable to speak, glanced at hixn, lifted her right hand, drew it across her thioat, as if in the act of cutting it, and then pointed it at her husband. Putting a pencil in her hand, an officer held a piece of paper for her, on which she wrote as the murderer, '• Peter Weise." Weise appeared at last to realize that he was in danger. Being accused of the crime, he became much agitated, fell down on his knees at the bedside, and implored his wife to save him from being hanged. lie denied by signs that he had done it,.and intimated as far as possible under the circumstances that she was her own murderess. Blood was found on the door in considerable quantities, and the razor; badly nicked, with which the cutting was done, was discovered in a corner ol the room, and he was covered with blood The neighbors 6ay the two were in the habit of quarreling.

Cattle Thieves.—A Texas Grand Jury has made a formidable presentment of the crimes perpetrated on the people of their State by the Mexican bandits who ravage the section of country lying between the Nueces and Rio Grande. The case is certainly very clear against the Mexicans, who are commanded by generals of the Republic, and who sell plunder openly in Mexican markets. The spoils of Texan citizens are said to amount to 5,C)00 cattle per month, or 86,300,000 worth per year. The report of the Grand Jury has the merit of being pungent and direct in language, and fixes ou Cortina, the ranking general, the title of " ranking cow and horse thief on both frontiers." It is clear that these people need looking after forthwith. S. BRISTOL, Proprietor, Pine Boards, Siding. Flooring, Hemlock Boards Hemlock Joist and Scantling.

Three solemn dinners were held, costing ten pounds each, and it was finally decided, on the score of economy, that the rope had better be spliced. They decided, "As faithful stewards of the public funds, they were bound to be careful," Goon Advice—Don't be discouraged if occasionally you slip down by the wav and others tread on you a little.

A Japanese Execution. Frightened by the Earthquake. » G UST STOVES, V 0 I G T , liEAIXB IN cTwTfreem The decapitation of four men at Tobe (Yokohama), for the crime of stealing lorty rios, is thus described by an eyewitness of the scene : The execution ground was fenced in the form of a corral, and stood amidst fields of waving barley. In one corner of this enclosure was a mat-shed, and just outside of it an ominous group of trees—ominous at least to condemned prisoners, for the fast-decaying skulls which lie around too plainly tell tlic tale of that sequestered spot. The birds and dogs.have been at work in.the offensive burying place, and have unearthed those remnants of the dead. The dread hour appointed for the sentenced culprits to expiate their crimes, is 7 a. m. But at six a numerous and somewhat motley group of foreigners and natives assembled. While moving about the spot, we observed preparations which have been made for the execution. A horizontal bar, upon which are four ominous spikes projecting upward—and whereon the heads of the doomed criminals will be bleaching in the sjnn, for two or three days—stands about two yards from the fence. Opposite to this are two holes in the ground, the dimensions of which are about three feet by l'i feet, and some 18 inches deep. .Beside these the poor wretches will have to kneel when beheaded1, that their heads may fall into them. Near one of these holes is a white handkerchief on a staff. In the hut sit the executioners complacently awaiting the arrival of the procession from the prison. Anxious to have a chat with;the chief headsman, a man apparently fifty or sixty years of age, we enter the mat-slied and wish them good morning, which is politely returned, light cigars and enter into a conversation regarding the prisoners. We then casually examine the executioner's sword, a long two-handled one, and doubtless of the best steeL Moving outside again, wc observe the increasing concourse anxious to witness the dying throes of the unfortunate men. The effect of the successive shocks upon the miners, says a California letter, was singular. Some of them threw themselves prostrate in terror, while others, half clad and in the greatest fright, took to the woods. Our artist has caught tlio expression and appearance of two of these affrighted men most earnestly, yet at the same time somewhat ludicrously. J.

A lump of coal, it is often said, is made up of sunbeams. We could believe this more readily of the diamonds, which is just a crystal of carbon, for it is so bright and sparkling, and makes brilliant sunshine in a shady place. But even the (lull, black coal has been formed of the sunshine of long forgotten summers. Every sunbeam that fell upon the club-mosses- and ferns of the old coalforests enabled them to withdraw the minute* unseen carbon from the air, and form out of it their own soh.l tissue. They thus caged and imprisoned the floating light itself, and wrought its bright threads in tlieir loom into the beautiful patterns of stem and leaf which they showed.

" Yes," he articulated gloomily, and going to the cradle took up the six weeks' old baby, and sorrowfully pressed it to his lieart. But listen ! that mournful chant, softly wafted o\;er the fields of grain which glow in the morning sunshine, betokens the approach of the sad procession. Nearer and nearer it approaches us, and as its sorrowful lay is echoed by the hills and sappices around, a thrill of pain, of sympathy for those on whom another morn will never brighten, is felt by almost every heart that's there. Now it is within a few yards. Three men are carrying as many boards, held aloft on poles, upon which is written a declaration of the crime committed by the culprits ; then came three or four more, having poles with a cross covered with spikes at the top—emblematical of the prison and justice ; then follow a string of officers and attendants, in the midst of whom are the prisoners—four very young men. Three of, them with firmness and strength, but the fourth, sick and overhelmed with distrees, is being carried in a knitgo, or basket chair. As they pass through the gate, we are somewhat surprised to hear one of them, as he walks close by us, say, ohaqo gazanimas! (good morning) and then express his opinion that the terrible death to which he is doomed would resemble going to sleep. The three men (the fourth being iu a state of semi-insensibility) take a long, long gaze at surrounding objects, and the attendants proceed to blindfold theui, their arms having been securely bound behind them before leaving the jail. The three men, each in turn, then gave utterance to a sort of exhortation and prayer. The miserable wretch in the kango is now lifted oilt and placed inside the hole on his knees, while two men stand behind him holding his body—but there is nothing to place his head upon. Another takes him by the chin to put his head iu position, which he succeeds in doing in a minute and a half, a delay terribly agonizing to the victim.

PENCILS, r \p® CHEAPEST IN TOWN —COME AND SEE FOR Hernia, or Rupture! Iflarth A Co.'i Radical Cure Trass. 1T1 MARSH CO. S Graduating Truss PROPRIETORS OF To form one of the little rings of wood in the trunk of one of the old pines took the sunshine of a long summer falling upon all its thousand leaves ; and who can tell liow much sunshine has been wprked np in all the stores of coal that lie concealed under onr feet ? This prisoned sunshine we set free whenever we kindle a fire of eoals. When the sun ceases to shine upon ns in these cold, misty days, we draw upon the sunshine ; of a million years ago to drive'away the frost and make us comfortable.' The source of all labor is the sun and we get the benefit of his labor when we burn the coal or the wood in which he has condensed and preserved it. No ray of suusliine has ever been wasted or thrown awav. It is because nature has been so thrifty in her household ways that we are enabled to be so prodigal of our resources to-day, spending more than one hundred millions of tons of coal every year, and with that vast consumption of sun labor producing all the varied and extraordinary work that we do under sun. Why is a lump of coal black, if it is composed of sunbeam*, which every one knows contains all the colors of the rainbow ? Why is it black, if it is made up of the green stems and branches and leaves of plants ? It is because its particles are so formed and are ranged as to take in all the light that falls upon it, without giving back any portion. A white object reflects all the light, and a black object absorbs all the light. What becomes, then, of the colors which the black coal has withdrawn from the sunshine ? Are they lost ? No ! nothing in this world is lost. Everything is accounted for. When anything has served its purpose in one form, it seems to vanish altogether ; but it reappears in another form, and in it works anew. There is everywhere change, but not loss. A growing plant absorbs some of the colors of the sunbeams that nourish it, and reflects others in its prevailing hue —yellow, or blue, or red, or purple. But the colors that it absorbs are not lost; they generally reappear . in some Other or after part of the plant. So the colors of the sunshine that are absorbed in the black coal come out in the colored flames of the blazing fire. The red and yellow flame over which you warm your hands is just the flower into which' the sunshine, concealed and stored up in the coal for ages, has blossomed. But more than this ; the lost colors of the rainbow in coal are brought out still more .strikiugly by our modern manufactures. Every one lias heard of, and very rnanv persons have seen, what are called the coal-tar colors. Richest and brightest hues of blue and green, and mauve and magenta, and rose and yellow, are obtained from tar, and tar is obtained from coal. Bonnets and round hats are so much alike in shape ami trimming this season that it is very difficult to tell which is which. \ SCHOOL BOOKS, BLANK BOOKS, MEMORANDUMS, Ac.

The blood-stained head is immediately lifted from its receptacle by the hair, and presented to the public gaze with an air of satisfaction. Water is then poured over it, the lifeless trunk being covered with straw-mats and removed a short distance away. At a given sign another is led forth, and kneels at the other hole ; the same scene of blood was again enacted. The third is now brought forward, his slaughter differing from the others only in the fact that another headsman does the work. And now the fourth—the man particularly remarkalile for his seeming indifference to the horrible fate which awaited him—steps up to play his part in the dreadful tragedy. Another aim —another gleam of that terrible weapon of death, and the Inst victim sinks to the earth, "asleep"—asleop in death.

The wife of a cattle broker named Weise was murdered at Pittsburg, Pa. When discovered, the woman lay on a bed and piesented a horrible spectacle. There was a deep, ragged gash on the throat, extending almost from ear to ear, nearly two inches wide, which had penetrated the windpipe. In addition, there was a terrible sawing cut on the back of the neck, extending into the spinal column, and, with that on the throat, almost severing the head fiom its trunk. While her husband was in the room, the dying woman, unable to speak, glanced at hixn, lifted her right hand, drew it across her thioat, as if in the act of cutting it, and then pointed it at her husband. Putting a pencil in her hand, an officer held a piece of paper for her, on which she wrote as the murderer, '• Peter Weise." Weise appeared at last to realize that he was in danger. Being accused of the crime, he became much agitated, fell down on his knees at the bedside, and implored his wife to save him from being hanged. lie denied by signs that he had done it,.and intimated as far as possible under the circumstances that she was her own murderess. Blood was found on the door in considerable quantities, and the razor; badly nicked, with which the cutting was done, was discovered in a corner ol the room, and he was covered with blood The neighbors 6ay the two were in the habit of quarreling.

Cattle Thieves.—A Texas Grand Jury has made a formidable presentment of the crimes perpetrated on the people of their State by the Mexican bandits who ravage the section of country lying between the Nueces and Rio Grande. The case is certainly very clear against the Mexicans, who are commanded by generals of the Republic, and who sell plunder openly in Mexican markets. The spoils of Texan citizens are said to amount to 5,C)00 cattle per month, or 86,300,000 worth per year. The report of the Grand Jury has the merit of being pungent and direct in language, and fixes ou Cortina, the ranking general, the title of " ranking cow and horse thief on both frontiers." It is clear that these people need looking after forthwith. S. BRISTOL, Proprietor, Pine Boards, Siding. Flooring, Hemlock Boards Hemlock Joist and Scantling.

There was the shortcake and toast, flanked with a golden lump ol butter, a plate of honey and a deep dish of roasted apples, to be served with suyar and cream, while at his wife's plate sat the steaming tea-pot. As James took, it in, all at one glance, he greatly wopdered at the frugal, yet comfortab'.e way of living. How 1ms Wife had been able to make that small amount of money lasrt so long was a mystery to him, and yet he could not help wishing inwardly that she had been more economical; then, perhaps, the rent might have been paid, and he felt that it would have been better to have subsisted on one crust of broad rather than to be turned out of doors homeless.

It was necessary to decide whether it should be spliced at a cost of two shillings, or replaced by a new one at a cost of two and sixpence. Three solemn dinners were held, costing ten pounds each, and it was finally decided, on the score of economy, that the rope had better be spliced. They decided, "As faithful stewards of the public funds, they were bound to be careful," Goon Advice—Don't be discouraged if occasionally you slip down by the wav and others tread on you a little. In other words, don't let a failure or two dishearten you; accidents will happen, and miscalculations will sometimes he made,things will turn out differently to our expectations, and we may be sufferers.
